Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), hardly deviating from July. Elgin observes an average nighttime low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during the month of August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
